Chicken Burrito Bowl - This easy recipe is full of flavor and perfect for lunch or dinner!

 

I’m always on the look out for new ways to enjoy Mexican food. Mostly because we love anything Mexican but also because those types of dishes are usually easy quick and easy to make. That is defiantly true of these Chipotle Lime Burrito Bowls.

Hi it’s Susanne from New South Charm back again this month with another easy recipe to help you get dinner on the table fast.

Chicken Burrito Bowl - This easy recipe is full of flavor and perfect for lunch or dinner!

 

These bowls feature different layers of flavor including black beans, corn, scallions, romaine lettuce and salsa. All severed over rice and topped with my homemade Chipotle Lime Sauce.

This recipe does require prepared cooked chicken. For this recipe I like to bake two boneless skinless chicken breasts at 350º for 30 minutes. Two breasts will make 6 servings. For us that is more than enough for dinner and leftovers the next day.

Begin by preparing two cups of white or brown rice according to package directions.

While rice is cooking heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add a can of black beans that have been drained and rinsed, a can of drained whole kernel corn and three chopped scallions to the skillet and cook until heated through.

When rice is done cooking mix in a cup of salsa and set aside.

Spoon rice into the bottom of the bowl then add a handful of lettuce. Pile on the bean and corn mixture. If you really want to send it over the top you’ll want to add my recipe for Chipotle Lime Sauce.

If you are looking for more easy Mexican dishes be sure to check out my recipes for Slow Cooker Chicken Tacos and Easy Enchilada Casserole.

Do you like “bowls” like these? What other types of bowl meals have you tried? Leave me a message in the comments and let me know. I can’t wait to hear from you!
